Independent senator Nick Xenophon believes it's a "beautiful day" for football after Sepp Blatter announced he would quit as FIFA president.
Senator Xenophon, a vocal critic of Blatter, attributed the decision to Europe's threat to pull out of future World Cup amid allegations of corruption over bids for 2018 and 2022.
"It's a beautiful day for a beautiful game," Senator Xenophon told ABC radio on Wednesday, adding that Australia should put its hat in the ring if the 2022 World Cup was stripped from Qatar.
